To determine whether the addition of bevacizumab to paclitaxel and carboplatin for primary treatment advanced ovarian cancer can be cost effective.A cost-effectiveness analysis compared three arms Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG) 218 study (paclitaxel plus [PC], PC [PCB], PCB maintenance [PCB+B]). Actual estimated costs potential complications were established each strategy. Progression-free survival (PFS) bowel perforation rates taken from recently reported results GOG 218. Sensitivity was...
In Brief OBJECTIVE: To prospectively evaluate in a blinded fashion the accuracy of frozen section endometrial cancer. METHODS: Sixty patients with cancer or complex atypical hyperplasia were consecutively enrolled. Intraoperatively, was obtained, processed, and stored for interpretation by pathologists. Final pathologic diagnosis conducted usual pathologists to results. Histologic grade myometrial invasion on correlated final pathology. RESULTS: Median age 61 years (range, 39–82 years)....
Our purpose was to study the safety, distribution, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, and tumor response of intraperitoneal <sup>212</sup>Pb-TCMC-trastuzumab (TCMC is S-2-(4-isothiocyanatobenzyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraaza-1,4,7,10-tetra(2-carbamoylmethyl)cyclododecane) in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (HER-2)–expressing malignancy. <b>Methods:</b> In a standard 3 + phase 1 design for dose escalation, delivered intraperitoneally less than 4 h after administration...
Purpose: One-year monitoring of patients receiving intraperitoneal (IP) 212 Pb-TCMC-trastuzumab to provide long-term safety and outcome data. A secondary objective was study 7 tumor markers for correlation with outcome. Methods: Eighteen relapsed intra-abdominal human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 expressing peritoneal metastases were treated a single IP infusion Pb-TCMC-trastuzumab, delivered <4 h after 4 mg/kg IV trastuzumab. Seven studied Results: Six dose levels (7.4, 9.6, 12.6,...
While high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) is the most common histologic subtype of cancer, significant tumor heterogeneity exists. In addition, chemotherapy induces changes in gene expression and alters mutational profile. To evaluate notion that patients with HGSOC could be better classified for optimal treatment based on expression, we compared genetic variants [by DNA next-generation sequencing (NGS) using a 50 Ion Torrent panel] (using NanoString PanCancer 770 Panel) from 20...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the treatment outcomes and risk factors women with surgical stage I endometrial adenocarcinoma who were initially treated surgery alone subsequently developed isolated vaginal recurrences. Patients diagnosed from 1975 2002 identified tumor registry databases at seven institutions. All patients including a total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, pelvic (+/- para-aortic) lymph node dissection, peritoneal cytology did not receive...
